The Creighton Cabin
About The Creighton Cabin
Join us for another heartwarming episode of rural Appalachian memories as I share Mom's memories life growing up on their Ohio farm. Step back in time to weekly laundry days, where surely that old washing machine got clothes cleaner than those new automatics! Watch as I read Mom's description of hanging clothes on a line in all seasons. Mom shares cherished memories of the family's bountiful garden, from the rows of practical vegetables that sustained them through the year to the colorful zinnias and snapdragons that brought beauty to their farmstead. This intimate glimpse into 20th century farm life continues our series exploring Mom's childhood memories, preserving precious stories of Appalachian heritage for future generations. Whether you're seeking historical perspective or nostalgic comfort, Mom's authentic storytelling brings these treasured memories to life.
